While Rome Burns
Well, it looks like the world is going to hell in a handbasket, so why don’t we just sit back today and listen to some really great music. Here’s Tommy Emmanuel at the Sheldon Concert Hall in St. Louis in 2000. I’ve posted the first 2 parts of a 12 part concert. You can find the rest on Youtube if you’d like (and I recommend you do).
The bride and I caught his show in a small club in New York back in June. It was totally mesmerizing. This guy never took a lesson.
Of course my favorite would be the one that is split right in the middle between Parts 1 and 2.
